Yeah, that time of year, Memorial Day weekend,
the official kind of kick off the summer.
It's uh lake season here in North Texas and
the weather today. Absolutely for it. A very hot day today.
Lots of humidity and all that heat and humidity led to a very unstable atmosphere.
And
what's happening out there at the moment is we have one super cell storm that has
really blown up and it's has a tornado
warning in northern portions of our viewing area.
But that also means a tornado watch in effect for uh Grayson County, Cook County,
Denton County Wise County and Montague County because
of this one Super cell is the only storm
that is out there tonight, but it is quite a storm at that.
It is a classic super cell has that hook to it, good inflow coming into the storm.
A new tornado warning was just issued. Uh Now
southern portions of Cook County does include a sliver of Grayson County
there and it does now include northern Denton County because the storm
actually tracking maybe a little bit more southeastward than due eastward here.
But still the areas that I was talking about off the top of the newscast,
uh, still under the gun for possible tornado and severe weather threat.
Gainesville.
You're gonna get some hail but you are not in the immediate tornado threat.
It's more so between Sanger and Valley view
along I 35 because here, I mean,
here's the hook of that storm, there's the good inflow.
Here's where that rotation is gonna be just north of the county line
between Denton and, uh Cook County. Absolutely can see the strong rotation there.
Let's zoom in a little bit closer,
basically, right on top of highway, uh, or FM 51 I should say,
ero you need to be in your safe spot or needed to have been in your safe spot.
Valley view to Sanger to northern Denton County.
I drew a little bit of a track on here.
I would adjust this maybe a little bit farther south, uh,
to include areas south of Pilot point. I would include Sanger in this.
So if, uh, let's see here, if
Tioga is, you know, 1108 pilot points, 1106 Mountain Springs,
which is right here is about 1055.
I would wager a guess that Sanger would obviously be, be before Mountain Springs.
Say here in the next 10 to 15 minutes. So
safe spot for you. Anybody along I 35 between Sanger and Valley view.
Absolutely need to be in your safe location. Pilot point,
uh, farther to the east, little bit longer time before the storm reaches you,
but you are underneath the warning as well.
So anybody in Northern Denton County and Southern Cook County,
I'm gonna step out of the way here.
I'm actually just gonna go back over
and uh, delete this
um,
track and go ahead and just draw a new one on here for you
so we can get the latest information because I don't wanna be guessing.
Um, if we're talking about
a dangerous situation here. So
there's all the communities that are underneath this warning.
It includes Sanger along 35 up to Denton
or up to Valley View, I should say includes Aubrey includes pilot point,
does not include
immediate uh city of Denton at the moment.
Uh but does include basically anywhere north of 380
in Denton County. So here's kind of a new track for you.
Um Some of the communities in, in northern Denton County and also into
uh southern portions of Cook County and also a little bit of Grayson County as well.
So Bolivar,
it would be
here in the next five minutes. Basically
Sanger. There you go. About 1045 pilot point a little bit after 11.
Aubrey,
uh a little bit after 11 as well and this
storm has showed no signs of weakening anytime soon.
It is still very warm, it is still very
humid, still has a lot of fuel for this storm.
Um could potentially just keep going here for another little while.
So we'll continue to monitor that for you because as I said, I mean, it, it blew up.
I mean, just absolutely blew up in Montague County.
I th I thought things were really winding down.
Then this one storm blew up and it's got a lot
of fuel to work with as it moves across the area.
So hopefully it'll weaken.
We are gonna get some sinking air moving in as we head into the later night hours. But,
um, at least for now,
we're gonna continue to keep that tornado threat for uh northern portions of uh
kind of Denton County and then also into Cook County.
And then also if it can hold together, we'll need to monitor it,
uh, for portions of Collin County as well,
that storm will eventually fizzle out and then there
could be a little activity late tonight and into
tomorrow morning between about 4 a.m. to uh 8 a.m. That likely not to be severe if it is
a little bit of uh, wind and hail, but not overly concerned with that.
Otherwise, it will be a hot end to your memorial,
the hot Sunday and then a very warm Monday for your Memorial Day.
Few storms tonight, 75 for your low.
Some of those obviously could be severe hot and breezy 98 mile high tomorrow
and the record is 99 degrees 94 on Monday for your Memorial Day,
but both tomorrow and Monday
during the day have low storm chances, which is good news.
Then the storm chances ramp up as we head through the upcoming week.
We also need to worry about maybe some decent rain headed our way this, uh,
through the second half of this next week and in the next weekend,
but it will knock those temperatures back down into the eighties.
So this time of year, if you want cooler temps usually comes with uh
uh rain chances. And I'm just looking at some of the latest reports here.
I know I need to toss the break, but I do want to include this.
Um It does look like in portions of Montague
County back when that storm was in Montague County.
We have trees down power lines down and at least one house destroyed
south of forest burg.
Um Also report of uh hay bales and uh other uh farm equipment turned
over in uh portions of Monte County back when that storm was that way.
I know there was so very, very strong winds at a minimum.
Uh But also there was a very tight rotation there
and it could have potentially produce a tornado
and we will continue to monitor that.
We'll have more updates uh through the rest of the night.
Let's go to a quick break and we'll be back after this.
